2010 JEEP WRANGLER JUMPS OUT OF FIRST GEAR UNDER ACCELERATION. AVERAGE RATE OF OCCURRENCE IS 2 TIMES A DAY. VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW IN DECEMBER OF 2009. PROBLEM REPORTED TO TATE JEEP IN FREDERICK, MD IN MARCH. DEALERSHIP REMOVED INNER AND OUTER SHIFTER BOOTS AND RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO ME WITH INSTRUCTIONS TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE WITHOUT THE BOOTS INSTALLED TO SEE IF THE PROBLEM RECURS. DEALERSHIP NOTIFIED 1 WEEK LATER THAT THE PROBLEM REMAINED; THEY RESPONDED THAT THEY WOULD CALL ME BACK TO SCHEDULE A SERVICE APPOINTMENT. AFTER THREE WEEKS, I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO INQUIRE AS TO THEIR PLAN; THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY HAD FORGOTTEN TO ORDER THE PARTS. FOR THE LAST 2 MONTHS I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THE JEEP WITHOUT THE INNER AND OUTER SHIFTER BOOTS AND OF COURSE THE PROBLEM REMAINS. THERE HAS BEEN NO ATTEMPT FROM THE DEALER TO CONTACT ME. THE VEHICLE PREVENTS A SAFETY PROBLEM AS IT CAN AND WILL JUMP OUT OF FIRST GEAR WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC AND WHEN TRYING TO ASCEND HILLS; ALL OF WHICH RISK A VEHICLE COLLISION. ADDITIONALLY WHEN THE SHIFTER JUMPS, IT DOES SO WITH ENOUGH FORCE TO CAUSE SIGNIFICANT PAIN AND RISK INJURY IF ONES HAND HAPPEN TO BE IN THE WAY. *TR
